The Legend of Nuna- the Fire Dancer (Bulgaria)

In the very Southeast of Bulgaria there is a mountain which slopes are washed by the Black sea. A wrapped in mystery mountain, where the tribes of the ancient Thracians developed their unique culture and traditions. In rocky sanctuaries they worshipped the Great Goddess- Mother Earth and the Sun. Later their gods were replaced by the new religion –Christianity. When the old and the new beliefs blended together the unique ritual of Nestinarstvo or Fire-dancing of was born. It has been practiced for centuries only here –in the mountain of Strandzha.

There are a lot of legends about fire-dancing. They are deeply engraved in the memory of our nation and attract each new generation with their wisdom and spiritual purity.

One of these beautiful stories dates back the centuries when Bulgaria was a part of the Ottoman Empire. A powerful Turkish ruler and his soldiers happened to ride through Strandzha. It was the beginning of summer and the rough trails wound through the lush greenery of the mountain. In a secluded village he met a young woman. Her name was Nuna. The ruler was enchanted by her beauty and he would have done anything to take her in his harem. The Christian girl refused to change her faith and leave her dear family and friends. She wasn’t tempted to replace her modest home with the palaces and luxuries the Muslim offered her. The ruler was determined to have her at any price. To save the village from violence she eventually laid her condition down - If he did what she was going to do, she promised to become his wife. Otherwise he

and his guards had to leave the village without doing any harm .The ruler accepted the challenge but he didn’t know that Nuna’s grandmother had passed the secret of fire- dancing to her.

At down on the day of Sts Constantine and Helen, Nuna’s brothers gathered loads of wood and built a huge bonfire in the centre of the village. The fire had been burning the whole day. By sunset the wood had returned into a pile of glowing embers. The steady rhythm of the sacred drum and the shrill bagpipe brought the villagers and the Turks round the fire. Nuna’s brothers first spread the embers in the shape of a cross and then made a circle of them. The crowd split aside to make way for Nuna, who came barefoot, dressed only in her loose white gown. Her silky hair was covered with a headscarf. She was holding the icon of Sts Constantine and Helen in her hands. Following the rhythm of the drum Nuna began dancing around the scolding mat, letting out strange groaning sounds. Her body was shivering in cold fever and her eyes were nearly closed. Someone in the crowed whispered that she was possessed by the saint. Suddenly Nuna went into the embers and crossed them with short steps. Then she entered the circle again drawing a cross with her pattern. She kept dancing around the circle, going in and out of it, hot embers cracking under her cold feet. Suddenly the nestinar bent over, scooped some embers and threw them in the air. The headscarf slipped off her hair and fell on the embers. Miraculously it didn’t burn out but remained intact.

The Turks were astonished as the embers didn’t scorch Nuna’s feet. When she ended her dance and her trance subsided

it was the ruler’s turn to follow Nuna’s pattern. He had the courage to step into the smoldering circle but as soon as he did it the pulsating pieces severely burnt his feet. He went furious of anger and pain. He threw himself on his horse back and forced the animal to cross the circle .The horse was frightened and flung his rider on the ground .The guards rushed to help their master but ashamed and angry he spurned them away. Reluctantly the man had to admit himself vanquished by the girl.

Being a man of honor the Muslim ruler kept his word .He left the village and the mountain forever.

What happened to Nuna? We only know that when she got old she passed the secret to her daughters. And they in their turn passed it to their ancestors. Thus the name of the beautiful Bulgarian, who danced in the fire and kept her faith, became a legend.

Legends about Prague (Czech Republic)

The Origin of Prague

The origin of Prague goes back to the 7th century and the Slavic princess Libuše, a woman of great beauty and wisdom who possessed prophetic powers. Libuše and her husband, prince Přemysl, ruled peacefully over the Czech lands from the hill of Vyšehrad. A legend says that one day Libuše had a vision. She stood on a cliff overlooking the Vltava, pointed to a forested hill across the river, and proclaimed: "I see a great city whose glory will touch the stars." ("Vidím město veliké, jehož sláva hvězd se dotýkati bude."). She instructed her people to go and build a castle where a man was building the threshold (in Czech práh) of a house. "And because even the great noblemen must bow low before a threshold, you shall give it the name Praha". Her words were obeyed and some two hundred years later, the city of Prague became the seat of the Premyslid dynasty.

The Story of Horymír and Šemík

When the Czech lands were ruled by prince Křesomysl, a farmer named Horymír lived in the village of Neumětely. He had a white horse of extraordinary intelligence called Šemík. Due to Křesomysl's obsession to find treasures that were said to be hidden underground, people were encouraged to abandon farming and to become miners. Horymír was unhappy with Křesomysl's rule and warned that neglecting farming would result in famine. His protests were not liked by the miners who one day set Horymír's property on fire. Horymír and his followers in turn burned down the miners' village. Horymír was punished and sentenced for execution. When he was asked his last wish, he requested one last ride around the castle grounds on his beloved horse Šemík. His wish was granted. When Horymír got on his white horse, he whispered something in his ear. Šemík ran to the ramparts, jumped over them and slid

down the cliff. When the on-lookers got to the ramparts, they were astonished to see Horymír and Šemík on the other side of the Vltava, galloping towards Neumětely.

The miraculous jump exhausted Šemík. The dying horse spoke to Horymír in a human voice and asked for a tomb to be built for him. Horymír did as the horse wished. The tomb has since disappeared but Šemík is said to be sleeping in the Vyšehrad rock, ready to come out when his help is needed again.

The Golem of Prague

In the 16th century, during the reign of Rudolf II, an old Jewish man named Rabbi Judah Loew lived in Prague. During that time, the Jewish people of Prague were being attacked and lived their lives in fear. Rabbi Loew decided to protect the Jews against pogroms by creating the Golem, a giant who according to the Cabala could be made of clay from the banks of the Vltava.

Following the prescribed rituals, the Rabbi built the Golem and made him come to life by reciting a special incantation in Hebrew. The word "emet", meaning "truth", was placed on the special Golem's forehead.

The Golem would obey the Rabbi's every order and would help and protect the people of the Jewish Ghetto. However, as he grew bigger, he also became more violent and started killing people and spreading fear. Rabbi Loew was promised that the violence against the Jews would stop if the Golem was destroyed. The Rabbi agreed. By removing the first letter from the word "emet", thus changing it to "met" (meaning "death"), life was taken out of the Golem. According to legend, the Golem was brought back to life by Rabbi Loew's son, and may still be protecting Prague today.

The Legend of Dalibor or Dalibor's Violin

The name of the Tower of Dalibor (Daliborka) at the Prague Castle is connected to one of Prague's best-known legends, which was also made into an opera by Bedřich Smetana in 1868.

According to this legend, a man called Dalibor from Kozojedy, a small town near Litoměřice, was sentenced to death and imprisoned in this tower for giving shelter to some rebellious peasants. While waiting for the fatal day, Dalibor would play his violin and his music was so beautiful that all the people of Prague were moved and enchanted and the local authorities didn't dare announce the date of the execution. People knew that the generous Dalibor was dead when his violin fell forever silent.

The Breaking into the Teutonic Treasury (Poland)

The legend tells a story about a daring breaking into the Treasury in the Teutonic Knights’ fortress in Malbork.

In the castle there were a few treasuries, but the one in the western wing of the High Castle was the most important, because it was managed by the Grand Treasurer – the Minister of Finance of the Teutonic Knights. He lived next door so very close to his work.

The Breaking into the Teutonic Treasury (Poland)

Page 17: Ebook of legends book 1

The Treasure was very heavily guarded, closed with two doors and the last metal one could be open only with 3 different keys.

These keys were in the possession of the Grand Master, the Grand Commander and Grand Treasurer. Only when this 3-person Commission gathered together, the Treasure could be open.

Despite such a good security the Treasury was robbed by the bakers, who worked in a bakery under it. They learnt that over their heads there is the Treasury. It was rumoured that there was so much gold money there that there wasn’t enough

space for it in the cases so it was stored directly on the floor in piles.

The bakers made a hole in the ceiling and the money started falling on their heads.

Then they left the castle immediately without waiting for the robbery to be found out. But the Teutonic knights having a system of castles built every 15 kilometres caught them easily, judged them instantly and sentenced them to death by hanging.

This scared off other daredevils.The Treasury itself soon started becoming empty. 50

years later (1410), there was the Battle of Grunwald, which appeared to be not only a military but a financial failure. The Teutonic Knights had to pay the regular army of many thousands and they lost their position forever.

The Legend of Bell’Alda (Beautiful Alda) (Italy)

Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl called Alda, who lived in the area of the abbey. She was devoted to the Virgin Mary and was well known for her virtue and her beauty.

A local lord, who had set his eyes upon her, ordered his men to kidnap her. When Alda met the men she realised that they had bad intentions and started to run desperately, but she had to stop running when she came to a precipice. So she invoked the Virgin Mary and St. Michael and jumped off the cliff to escape the scoundrels. At that point a miracle occurred: her body lightly flew into the air and landed safe and sound without any injuries.

On the following days Alda became very popular with the villagers. She felt like a celeb, became vain, conceited and started to put on airs. She was sure she could jump off the cliff whenever she wanted. So one day she decided to show off and, followed by a large number of people, she went to the top of the cliff and, incited by the crowd, she leapt. But this time God, seeing that she had been presumptuous, decided to punish her, so beautiful Alda’s body crashed to the ground.

The Two Avigliana Lakes (Italy)

A long time ago, in the same area where today you can see two lakes of Avigliana, there was an old village whose inhabitants were so wicked and disrespectful towards their fellows that they chased poor people away without any mercy.

One day they were put on trial by Jesus himself, who appeared to them disguised as a beggar, knocking at every door and pleading for a little food. Unrecognized, he was rejected and abused. Only a poor old woman, who lived in need in a poor house, gave him hospitality and fed him with the last piece of bread she had in the cupboard.

On that very night, during a violent storm full of lightning, thunder and terrifying earthquakes, two frightful chasms formed in the ground and the village was swallowed up by waters. In its place, two beautiful, large and deep lakes formed; they were separated by a small strip of land on which the house of the poor, old and merciful woman was still standing. She was the last survivor of the divine punishment.

Legends of the Susa Valley (Italy)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susa_Valley

The ancient legend refers to the myth of the fall of Phaeton. Phaeton was the son of Helios, the king of the sun. While driving his father’s chariot he fell into the river Eridanus (the river Po) in an area corresponding to modern day Piedmont, where the rivers Po and Dora meet near the city of Turin.

Page 25: Ebook of legends book 1

The wheel of the chariot was found there and brought knowledge to mankind. Supposedly, it was this first stone circle that gave rise to the ancient Druid order on the planet. Phaethon’s myth recalls another famous legend: the Holy Grail (a dish, a plate, a cup?), which descended upon the Earth through mysterious ways.

Page 26: Ebook of legends book 1

Its cyclopic walls were 27 km in length and its huge porticoes stretched along the shores of the Dora River. Rama was part of an immense urban agglomeration which extended from today’s city of Susa to the gates of Turin.

The Celtic myth of the city of Rama has survived throughout the centuries in the oral traditions of the local Druid culture. This ancient city was at the foot of Mount Roc Maol, today’s Rocciamelone.

27

Rama was the real and the only city existing at that time; it was the peaceful and intellectual centre of a mysterious people, whose civilization was probably destroyed by a catastrophic event.Some later legends report that Rama and its citizens guarded the secret of the Holy Grail. In fact in Piedmont there are a lot of stories about the presence of the Grail in this area.

Page 28: Ebook of legends book 1

28

One of them is the legend of St. Eldrad, who recalls Merlin the Wizard and the Arthurian cycle. Eldrad was the Abbot of Novalesa Abbey. Famous for his miracles, he used to heal people with his hands, like the druids did. Just like Merlin he was trapped in a forest where he slept for 300 years.

Tradition says that the Holy Grail, in the shape of an emerald, would be preserved in a cave of Mount Musiné, guarded by a dragon.

The Legend of the Devil's Bridge (Italy)

Once upon a time the inhabitants of the farmhouses and cottages of Mount Basso, had to walk a long way to reach Lanzo. Connections between the little town and the right bank of the river were possible only thanks to unstable wooden bridges. The inhabitants had tried to build a bridge several times, but every time a natural calamity or a sudden collapse made the human work vain.

Indeed, considering these inexplicable events, someone started to think that the Devil himself didn't want that bridge.A shepherd spread the rumours which reached an old hermit saint living in a cave not far from Lanzo. He suggested to come to an agreement with the Devil in order to have the new bridge and the villagers willingly accepted his proposal.

Left alone in his cave, the saint soon received the visit of the Devil, who agreed to build it. As a reward, however, he asked to be allowed to take the first human being who would cross the bridge to hell. The saint agreed and retired in prayer in his cave.

When night fell, the Devil began to build the bridge; meanwhile, in the cave, the saint was embracing his dog for the last time; it had been his only companion for many years and was now old and blind. In fact the animal itself was going to be the mocking reward for the diabolic builder. The old man wrapped it in a sack, came down to the bridge and left it there, recommending it not to bark.

In the morning, a beautiful new bridge was shining like silver in the rays of the sun, but nobody saw the Devil’s anger

The Legend of the Devil's Bridge (Italy)

when, opening the bag, he found the dog and realized that he had been mocked by the holy man.

In a fit of rage he beat his hoof on the ground, struck the sack with his trident and sank to hell. The bag turned into a stone, which is still visible today in the chapel of St. Rocco, together with the footprint left by the devil’s hoof at the entrance of the bridge.

The Legend of the Tapestry of Queen Mathilda (France)

Bishop Odo of Bayeux (From Wikipedia)

Let me tell you something about a famous Norman embroidered cloth entitled La telle du conquest.

This endlessly fascinating piece of art depicts the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England a long time ago. It features William, Duke of Norrmandy and his rival, Harold, Earl of Wessex,who later became King of England. The climax of the story told on this so-called tapestry is the Battle of Hastings, fought on 14 October 1066 , and the death of Harold . It is miraculous that this cloth should still be intact over nine centuries.

The Legend of the Tapestry of Queen Mathilda (France)

Page 34: Ebook of legends book 1

34

Although it is likely that it was commissioned by Bishop Odo, William's half-brother, and embroidered in England—not in Bayeux—by skilled Anglo-Saxon seamsters, in the 1070s, the legend has it that it was commissioned and stitched by Queen Mathilda and her ladies-in waiting. We can imagine that it is more romantic to imagine William's wife working on the Tapestry while fondly remembering her beloved husband's acts of bravery !

The Legend of Aubert of Avranches (France)

Should you have the opportunity to visit the church Saint-Gervais of Avranches, in Manche, Normandy, you would see there a monumental reliquary with a pierced skull.

Since the 11th century, people have considered this skull as Saint Aubert's. He was bishop of Avranches at the beginning of the 8th century and died ca 725.

In 708-709, Aubert commissioned the building of a chapel in honor of Saint Michel, who had appeared to him several times in dream. Then he undertook the construction of the famous Mont Saint-Michel Abbey.

After his death, his relics attracted numerous pilgrims, of whom Louis XI. After his pilgrimage, in 1469, the King of France founded the Order of Saint Michael, a chivalric order. Among the first knights, there were the most powerful nobles in France.

The Order of St. Michael was dedicated to the Archangel Michael. Every member had a gold badge of the image of the saint standing on a rock - Mont Saint-Michel - fighting the snake.

The motto of the order was the tremor of the immense ocean. It comes from the idea of Saint Michael looking out over the Atlantic from Mont Saint-Michel.

The elaborate gold collar is made of scallop shells reminding of Santiago de Compostela.

The Legend of Aubert of Avranches (France)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Saint_Michel-Order.jpg

The legend tells that, after several appearances, the archangel, exasperated and hopeless to see Saint Aubert making a commitment in the construction of an oratory on the now famous rocky tiodal island, drilled his skull of a violent blow of lance, or maybe a flash of lightning, or else - who knows?- more magnificently, his pointed finger. This gesture finished convincing the bishop: the oratory was dedicated on 16 October 709. However, Aubert did not live long enough to enjoy his work. There is indeed a hole pierced in the relic of Aubert's skull. As a medieval commemorative inscription indicates, during the Middle Ages, this wound was thought to be due to the divine intervention.

The Legend of the Ghosts of Versailles (France)

Portrait of Marie Antoinette by Wertmüller (Wikipedia)

On 10 August 1901, two female academics, Charlotte-Anne Moberly and Eleanor Jourdain went on a trip to Versailles. They visited the famous little château in the grounds of the Palace of Versailles. In the gardens of the Petit Trianon, they experienced a time slip and had the pleasure to see Queen Marie-Antoinette:

The Legend of the Ghosts of Versailles (France)

"Everything suddenly looked unnatural, therefore unpleasant; even the trees seemed to become flat and lifeless, like wood worked in tapestry. There were no effects of light and shade, and no wind stirred the trees."

Convinced that the grounds were haunted, in 1911, under the names of Elizabeth Morison and Frances Lamont, the ladies published a book entitled An Adventure. Their supernatural story or “folie à deux” caused a sensation and some skepticism...
